For people who hate this article, can you please share why you hate it instead of just saying it sucks? It was meant to stir things up obviously, but I thought that the various points brought up were really valid.

This is a pretty one-sided article. There are 3 parties, and all of them are CRITICAL, because they FEED OFF each other. 1) Tech blogs, 2) Elite Users, 3) Everyday Users. Tech blogs write about stuff if they hear it from their friends. Elit

Hilarious! "You seem to lack a flare for self-promotion. Lucky for us our PR department stepped in and changed your L/c2 equation into the much more marketable E = mc2" Smart. ;)

Hi! I am ok that my submission got killed - but not if it is killed for the wrong reason. I definitely did not "create 12 accounts" to vote it, all I did was tweet about it. In any case, I have utmost respect for the community, and I defini
